artWORKS

A collaboration between the Armory and Learning Works Charter School, artWORKS encourages teens from different backgrounds to express themselves through a combination media arts and fine arts. We creatively engage teens in improving academic performance, deepening cultural awareness, developing positive social skills, and teachoing creative pursuits that matter in school and in the real world.

All artWORKS after-school classes are free, but registration is required (see form below).
